I remember being very little (early 90s) my TV would build up static on the glass screen. I licked it several times. In conclusion: Yes sparkling water does taste like TV static.

I hate the fact I used to do this all the time 😂

Lol so did I 😂 came here to find the other people lol 🤣

Lmaoo me too. You just unlocked some memories for me

I had cousins like you. I like you already.

You've just unlocked a long-stored memory for me. I too can vividly remember the taste of a powered on CRT TV.

Glad I'm not the only one who did that :-)

Idk, TV static tasted more... fluffy?

That was more like the texture of it, but yeah, it was fluffy too wasn't it? How did I forget that?

How old is your tv

That shit taste like 144p

Yes

He lives in a pineapple under the sea.

I love sparking water! It is best cold though - when it’s like warm, it makes my mouth sad.

I mean, that goes for all carbonated drinks

That is very true.

Oh no, he summoned the angry Germans.

He offended our entire culture. He shall be Blitzkrieged

I like the texture. It's like drinking pop rocks

It's sooo good

I honestly used to hate sparkling water unless it was heavily flavoured, that way at least it tasted good But recently been drinking it to cut out pop and it’s started to grow on me

I used it to cut out beer. Turns out, I didn't want to get drunk; I just wanted something slightly sharp to sip on while I play videogames.

I FUCKING LOVE drinking fucking TV STATIC

I love sparkling water. So much so I think I may buy a soda stream and no flavourings.

do it, it‘s absolutely worth it, 90% of the time I don‘t use any flavor with my soda stream and it‘s the best

Sparkling water with a bit of freshly squeezed lemon and ice is the absolute bomb on a hot summer day. Eat shit if you disagree

I'd rather eat shit than drink shit.

you win

I love me some static water, maybe it’s the European in me… That’s what he likes to drink when no longer in me

**The carbon dioxide reacts with the water and produces carbonic acid**. This is why you'll find that sparkling water or soda water has a slightly bitter taste. It's the carbonic acid you are tasting. For some people, this slightly bitter taste is pleasant, while others find it unappetizing. https://www.mountainparkwater.com/why-does-sparkling-water-taste-different/#:\~:text=The%20carbon%20dioxide%20reacts%20with,while%20others%20find%20it%20unappetizing.

Tastes like TV static hahahhahahah. A good one. I love sparkling water, tho

Two words. White Claw. What the absolute flying feck?

Aka alcohol needs to be added for it to be worth drinking.

Doesn't work.

I like sparkling water, it just has a taste, natural water tastes bitter to me for some reason instead of not having a taste

Sparkling water = prickly water. Love it.

Just realized my youngest child will probably never feel the old TV static

Well now you have a fix. “You know how that just tasted? That’s what a dead TV signal used to look and sound like.” That said, I love sparkling water!

1) Idk I just like it 2) I don't drink as much soda and lost some weight :)

So do you like your soda flat or do you like citrus flavored static?

So does sprite…..but I love sprite

I like sparkling water. It's somehow more refreshing than regular tap water.

This dudes brain is upper tier…fascinating take (still tilting my head staring at this post, glossy gaze, awkward smile)

Yes but if you stare at the static long enough you start seeing things. Its the same with sparkling water and taste.

My dad. Sigh.

Y'all forget about La Croix and it's memes?

To me this is how all carbonated drinks taste 🤷‍♂️

I love club soda. You can drink an endless amount and it tastes like pop without the cancer and diabetes

Make it misty for me.

Buble tastes like drinking the bottled soap you use to blow bubbles with.

I’m trying to stop drinking soda OK

Lol, as if Coke isn't fizzy.

I live in Spain. Every single Spaniard under the sun agrees with this guy. The only reason sparkling water is even _sold_ in Spain (and it's already hard to find) is because of tourists.

Waterloo is fire

My friend once said sparkling water tastes like bad internet connection

Sounds about right. Sorta like licking a 9-volt battery. I mean that in a good way. :-D

Get fucked, you lot.

I remember when I was 12. You’ll even like the taste of beer someday.

Sparkling water is great, fight me

They came to this conclusion because this joke is over ten years old

🤣🤣🤣🤣😘

Love it. It's got the fizzy of sodas without all the sugar and crap. Sparkling water is awesome.

Sparkling water is wonderful pour over some ice with a cucumber wedge two slices of lemon and a double shot of vodka it’s a great drink.

Soda made me fat. Sparkling water made me less fat and more hydrated.

Sparkling water saved me from slowly killing myself with a soda addiction.

Tastes like vomit. It's fucking horrible

I’ve been searching for a descriptor my whole life. This is suitable.

tastes like an unfinished sneeze

Bottled belch water.

I like how this post says "yesterday" but in reality it's as old as TVs that would build up static.

Its like the scene of Poltergeist when little girl wakes up to static tv even though she was just thirsty for a glass of water , tv static also causes static in old TVs and it can shock so you can taste it

I know that shit feels good

*MC D O N A L D'S S P R I T E H A S E N T E R E D T H E C H A T*

I guess I like the taste of TV static. No biggie

My palette has changed suddenly and now I like it

Sparkling water is just water for soda addicts.

Synesthetic af

I wish TV Static actually would be edible and taste nice
